Arctic Monkeys to Headline Glastonbury Festival 2023 Despite Alex Turner’s Illness

Posted by

British rock legends, Arctic Monkeys, are expected to headline Glastonbury Festival 2023. This would mark their third time headlining, having previously performed in 2007 and 2013. Despite frontman Alex Turner’s recent battle with acute laryngitis, which led to the band cancelling their Dublin show slated for June 20, Emily Eavis, co-organiser of the festival alongside her father, is confident that they will still be able to take the stage.

In an interview with reporters at the gates of the festival’s opening day, Eavis said that although they “have a couple of back-up plans” just in case, she believes they will be “all right”. The Foo Fighters have been suggested as a possible back-up plan, but Eavis refused to give away any details, saying “it’s all about the surprise”.

This year’s edition of Glastonbury also features headline performances from Guns N’ Roses and Elton John, as well as Lizzo, Lana Del Rey, Måneskin, Fred Again.., Cat Stevens, Manic Street Preachers, Wizkid, Lil Nas X, Chvrches and The War On Drugs.
